I rarely enter into GW debates but feel I must say something here.

It is a measurable fact that the earth is now warming up, ie global warming is
happening. And that is all we have in truth, the rest is just theories with some
based on sound science and others based on vested interests or personal gain.

OT but I can't resist it. That well known and loved environmentalist David
Bellamy has come out and ....wait for it.... .......attacked what he calls
"the great global warming scam". In an article in the Mail on Sunday Bellamy
rails against claims that "mans actions could ultimately destroy the planet"
as the 'biggest scam to hit the world'. He criticises the Government for
resorting to 'scare tactics' to justify its misguided crusade. He said 'It
is scientifically proven that 99 per cent of the worlds greenhouse emissions
come from natural sources over which we have no control. Yet millions are
being spent which will have no effect whatsoever on global warming. The
money should be spent on providing fresh water and sanitation to the most
deprived areas of the world'

Blimey! I would not have expected that from him off all people. I had a
further search on the net and found reference to a letter in New Scientist
titled "hooray for global warming" Alas as I am an 'anti-scientist' I
couldn't access the archives. There has also been a riposte to Sir david
houghton (chief government advisor to St Tony) in the daily Telegraph.

Now Saint Tony Blair of course has stated that "Global warming was the most
serious long term threat facing the planet' and has vowed to cut emmisions
by 15.2 per cent (I assume the .2 per cent is Prescott's two jags) by 2010!

Off course the Sainted Tony being a scientist by nature (unlike me according
to the great Chief Dancey with wolves) is a devout catholic (you know the
lot that still teach that the world was made in seven days).
Now he and his "new-age" wife Cherie , recently went through a rebirthing
ceremony in Mexico. Apparently they rubbed lots of mud, fruit and vegetables
into each others bodies. Well all I can say is, that before wicked humans
entered the industrial age it was common for folk to carry out a very
similar activity; it was called the "Stocks and Pillories"!


I now await for those methane producing human stools, to hit the
wind-turbines.
